now The question OF voting bonds in
aid of the Missouri Pacific railway COM
pany has been decided. There
has not been single dissent

unusual to see anything as unanimous as
this has been. There were at least 800

coming to Crete, in fact it was ensured
before, and upon the assurance of some
of our prominent citizens. the railroad
company had commenced to do some
work, but now it will be pushed with all
the vigor which Manager Clark is capa-

good deal.
The b. & M. also have their forces at
work running their line to Beaver Cross.

The foundation of the new Methodist

ground to complete the building.
1t will be the finest church in the city,

editors, under the management of Presi-

due, have got their building under way
upon the Chautaugua grounds, and will
have it completed before the assembly,

their headquarters permanently estab-

should not spend good deal of their time
here. The entertainment which they will

rest which will come with the recreation

The lawyers building Is also nearing
completion, which of itself is mammoth
thing. 1t will be the largest building up
on the grounds and will attract gooc
deal OF attention. 1t will have a secreta-
ry who will be in the building all of ths
time, and tend to the wants of the profes
sion as they come on the grounds. Al
lawyers will know where to come a
once, and will be taken care of.
The management of the assembly have
made arrangements for nearly three
times the number of boats that were ha(
upon the river last year. This will give
those who enjoy boating chance t.
have all they desire while here. Th'
river is in excellent condition, free from
brush, drift wood, snags or anything
which would interfere with the rowing
The water runs slow so that there is bu
little resistance while rowing up th
river, and those who attend the assembl.
will hardly go away without having a
least one boat ride.
